Zhang Fei
The facial makeup of Zhang Fei in the paper cut is designed like a black-white butterfly.
The eyehole is linked with the eyebrow to make wings of a butterfly. The eyebrow is
pained with some red to display Zhang Fei was bad-tempered but caring despite careless
sometimes. The forchead is bleakened to show that Zhang Fei was a very brave man. The nose
is a little turned upwords and the face smiling to show that Zhang Fei wasoptimistic and
brave. The head is wrapped up with a big scarf and the ear dressed with black ornaments.
The straight-up posture of Zhang Fei shows his overwhelming bravery without displaying his
anger.
Zhang Fei is a figure in the well-known novel called "Three Kingdoms". He was one of the adopted brothers of Liu Bei, who was the Emperor of Shu Kingdom. Zhang Fei was straightforward and rash by nature. Several dramas in the Peking Opera presented Zhang Fei. Such as "Hulao Fortress", "Changban Hill" and "Fighting Ma Chao".
